Brazen coyote attempts attack Friday morning on Avocado Terrace

Reader Jim Minges, who lives at the 1200 block of Avocado Terrace below New York Drive, sent us a warning this morning:

Our property is completely fenced with a 5 - 6 foot high chain link fence. .At 10 AM today we had a coyote jump the fence, probably in pursuit of our dog. Fortunately, I and two gardeners were in the yard, and were able to chase the coyote around the house, at which point he again jumped the fence and ran across my neighbor's yard to escape.

I have advised those of my neighbors with small pets ... The problem seems to be getting out of hand, since I have also seen groups of 3 - 4 coyotes at Mendicino and Holliston, as many others have reported. Isn't there anything we or the authorities can do?
